Tygon® Ink 1000
Tubing specifically designed for use with UV inks
Highly chemical-resistant Tubing for UV ink conveying
Especially with UV inks, UV blocking is an industry standard. Tygon® Ink 1000 has demonstrated in accelerated aging tests that, thanks to its patented technology, the integrity of the ink is maintained. This makes the tube ideally suited for applications in the UV market.
Chemical Resistance
When pumping inks, chemical compatibility and flexibility are among the most important prerequisites for reliable performance. Tygon® Ink 1000 was specifically developed for use with UV inks, for example in:
• Digital printing
• 3D printing
The product has been tested with various thinners (IBOA, VMOX, HDDA, etc.) and demonstrated excellent chemical resistance over an extended testing period.
